I'll get straight to the point: I love this novel for all of its dark and grizzly themes. However, I just want to post this for anyone wanting to read this that in novel like this, about war, death and a soldier's duty, you have to be mentally prepared.
I know this is sounding me out to be some wuss but honestly, I think it just shows how impactful the author's writing is. I dropped this novel not because it was bad but because it just made me feel like sh*t. No joke, some of these chapters nearly induced an existential crisis (slight exaggeration, but you get my point) with the questions it raised.
Spoiler
Is it right to pull teenagers from all over the country and send them into a dystopian world of death, filled with monsters and the supernatural? Should Commissars really exist? Are they morally... right? At what point does killing people become a want and not a necessity?

Death is very common in this novel. I love it and hate it at the same time. I hope the author receives more attention for it.
I'm surprised at how little people have read this, this is genuinely a amazingly written novel.
Neatly written and it portrays the MC and other character very well.
